Chapter 952: Earth Dragon
"I dreamed that a curtain of light came down from heaven and fell to the earth. The sky knew day and night, and there seemed to be a roar above the clouds, but it was too far away for me to see. ”
The picture below is as abstract as ever, and Roddy can tell that the magister is trying to describe the colors of the sky, but there is no precedent for this scene, and his art skills are really a bit unsatisfactory.
However, thinking of the previous vision around the moon, Roddy had to affirm: "He did predict this part of the event, but what does it mean? Boom? There was no thunder." ”
Reading on, Houdini adds a passage: "A light began to fall to the ground and spread. The dark earth turned silver, and there were people shouting something around them, but I couldn't hear their words clearly. ”
Dreams are always like this, and what you see and hear is often difficult to describe in words. Sally pointed to the side, "Is this related to the 'Mana Tide' you said?"
"Mana tide" is a concept proposed by the dragon clan, and it is also regarded by many people as a key factor in the demise of the high elf civilization - "mana tide" refers to a period of time, the density of the elements suddenly and greatly decays, just like the ebb tide of the sea, so that the strength of the "magician" of the whole world decreases.
The magic civilization mastered by the high elves is powerful, but in the face of the attacks of demons and orcs, it is losing one after another, and the dragon clan has indeed written about the phenomenon of "mana tide" in this historical record, but the "mana tide" that Luo Di knows has not affected the entire continent, but it is only a vision that appears in a small area, as for how many times it has appeared, the dragon clan has not said clearly.
"It's too vague, maybe it has something to do with the moonlight that day. ”
Roddy guessed for a long time, I don't know. At this time, Sally had finished drinking milk, wore a loose dressing gown and went to the bathroom to wash, she took the "toothbrush" that is now popular in the Karen aristocratic circle, tilted her head and said: "Whatever it is, wash up and go to bed early, my Prime Minister." ”
"Yes, my majesty..."
Roddy stretched, this time to act, Akasha was supposed to follow, but Roddy finally let her stay in the Dragon Tower, after all, when he, the prime minister, is not there, there must be someone who is absolutely trusted as an "eye" to monitor everything.
He came to the bedroom window, where the city of Hollier was covered in snow in the dark, and in the darkness in the distance, the Silent Forest was as quiet as ever.
Early the next morning, the village chief Brudy, who had been walking in the forest for a day, walked out of the tent, looked up at the gloomy sky, and sighed: "I have to come out to suffer at this time, and I am really idle..."
Saying that, but the young wood elf next to him handed over the freshly burned broth: "Village Chief, after all, you are thinking about them, this year's snow is heavy, if you don't give them some supplies, I'm afraid these people will be in a difficult situation..."
Even so, he went out in person under this cold winter and led a team to the village of Migan, which is closer to Elsa's village, intending to exchange something with a dozen bags of grain for something - it was said that it was an exchange, but it was actually similar to a gift. It's just that the wood elves also want to save face after all, and simply giving food is easy to stiffen the relationship.
Yonegang Village was not far away, but it took Brudy a long time to persuade Chief Frank to agree to open the trade route.
The wealth of Elsa Village has grown exponentially, and Yonegang Village has naturally benefited a lot because of its geographical advantages, but in one summer, the food problem in the village has been greatly improved, and the equipment of the hunting team has been replaced. The last time he contacted Brudy, Village Chief Frank smiled and made an appointment with him about the next plan, but in the past month, the other party has not sent anyone to contact Elsa Village.
Even if he didn't show up, Brudy hoped that the other party would explain things clearly in person. Atwood's shouting of "bloodline" already made him feel a little weird, and he didn't want to make some trouble in Migang Village, which was closest to Elsa's village, so he personally led the team to visit at this time.
There were twenty-five people in the team, and because Brudy had raised the alert level of Elsa Village after Brudy's announcement, only ten of them were Wood Elves, and the remaining fifteen were elite soldiers of the Evta Infantry Division.
The well-armed human soldiers gave Brudy a lot of peace of mind, but he didn't want to rely on that kind of force when talking to Chief Frank. Silently drinking the broth, Brudy motioned for everyone to leave camp, but not long after walking, the sentry in front came with a strange news: there were monster corpses blocking the road.
"What corpse?"
Brudy wondered, isn't it normal for a large beast like an elk to die on the side of the road under normal circumstances?
"It's big..."
After a long time of arguing with the scouts, Brudy finally decided to go and see for himself, but after walking two hundred meters, he was frightened by the corpse in front of him - because this is a real "earth dragon"!
There are several beings at the top of the food chain in the Silent Forest, and the "Earth Dragon" is elusive, and it does not appear on the surface on weekdays. But once this thing appears, it will definitely mean a disaster: its body is more than ten meters, because it is a mutant species in the "wurm", and its body is like a dragon without wings, but its head is much uglier, and its spiral horns are like goats, which looks extremely inconsistent.
This thing weighs at least seven or eight tons, and the scales and carapace on its body are amazingly defensive, if it attacks Elsa Village, Brudy estimates that his entire village will be easily swept by the opponent, and perhaps only those weapons of the infantry division can pose a threat to it.
But the question at the moment... Such a powerful creature died in the middle of this path to Yrioka Village!
As the saying goes, "a tiger is not a tiger", even if the dragon in front of him is dead, no monster dares to come forward to eat the corpse, and the temperature is cold, Brudy took a closer look and found that the corpse almost maintained its original appearance when it was "killed": the middle of its body was blasted open by a strange force, and its abdominal cavity and bones were exposed, and it obviously died on the spot before it had time to escape.
"Magician..."
Brudy is one of the most knowledgeable mages in the village who can directly blow up the earth dragon, and is not much different from a god to the wood elves. So this presence kills the Earth Dragon... And for what?
After a round of inspection, the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones of the earth dragon were all intact, and the only thing missing was the magic crystal. It stands to reason that to kill such a powerful monster, all the materials that can be used must be moved directly - when Roddy killed the dragon Wisam, it took a lot of effort just to dispose of the corpse, but in the end, the materials obtained were armed with the cavalry regiment, and the effect is needless to say.
At the moment, except for the magic crystal and the wound on the body, the rest of the earth dragon is unscathed, no matter how you look at it, it is not right. Brudy judged from experience that this thing should have been killed two days ago, and he looked around the earth dragon for a long time, but finally waved his hand: "Let's go, go back to the village." ”
"The village chief?"
The other wood elves were puzzled, they also had more contact with humans now, and they knew that the muscles and bones of the monster in front of them could be sold for a lot of money. But Brudy didn't explain at all, just continued: "Don't look at it, pack your things, and go back." ”
The accompanying human soldiers carried out the order, and they kept vigilantly watching the surroundings, but until Brudy led the team away, nothing happened.
Brudy was so preoccupied that he didn't say anything along the way. Several fellow wood elves were talking about it, but he stopped it with his eyes.
And behind them, a group of wood elves hidden in the forest always looked at the departing Brudy and the others, led by Frank, the head of Miaoka Village, - after he saw Brudy walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to his companions beside him: "Let's go... This is the way to make a difference. ”
If you look closely, you will find that although these wood elves are in rags, each of them is holding a crystal clear magic crystal in their hands...
